Also; it appears that not expanding encrypted save files is a feature not a bug! I read somewhere that Barry plans to change that, so it may appear in 3.02 or 3.1.Last edited by nic2109 on Sat 20 Oct 2007, 08:13; edited 1 time in total

When running Puppy 3.00 as a LiveCD I continue to find these problems, even after the PPPOE-fix. (My internet connects through a DSL modem, no router)
Roaring Penguin starts and connects, but Firefox doesn't get access to the internet, neither does Thunderbird.
Same problem occurs in Firehydrant and TMXprism3BETA.
TMXprism3 doesn't even start Thunderbird, neither from the menu, nor a changed desktop icon, nor the console. Also why does TMX use the old mut again? The new one in 2.17 was much more pleasant to look at.

None of this occured in any version of 2.17 I have tested, not Puppy, not TMX, NOP, etc.
Could you please address these issues? Guess this is the 3rd time I have posted this.
Otherwise I am very pleased with Puppy, the 2.17 versions that is. You are doing an excellent job.

seems to have been a problem with this particular usb pendrive (although it worked with previous versions). Using a USB pendrive with only 1 partition solved the problem.

Hi I've used puppy's universal installer several times before, and never had problems- but with 3.0 it does not seem to work.
however my pendrive is formatted (fat16, ext2, ext3, fat32, one partition, two partitions, bootable flag, no flag - formatted in windows, formatted with linux, partitioned with gparted, or fdisk, or cfdisk (you see I've tried a few options Wink) it is only recognised as 'superfloppy formatted with ext3 - no files are copied across (although the operation takes some time and uses both the CD-drive and hard disk (swap?)). No options to install a boot loader or make the disk bootable appear afterwards.

Has anyone else had this problem?
Installing on ATA hard-drive no problem.

Just a quick polish, when booting from the cd "puppy pfix=ram" to boot into memory and ignore any save files, the loading screen still says "searching for save files"._________________Puppy Linux's Mission

There is no validation when choosing the pup_save.2fs file at bootup, entering a numberd choice not on the list causes puppy to load into RAM. Should there be validation at this point? What would happen if the user booted into ram and then at shutdown chose the same name for a pup_file? Would this cause data to be overwritten or would the write fail and the session be lost?_________________Puppy Linux's Mission

/usr/lib/tcl8.5/gnocl-0.9.91/gnocl.so is there and there is no .wh. files
???

Menu/Multimedia/Puppy Sound Mixer doesn't run. If I try to start
it in a terminal ( pvolume-mixer.tcl), I get the same error as above
except the last line is - (file "/usr/sbin/pvolume-mixer.tcl" line 17).
Also, I get the same error as above with "kp".

Oooooo k I've been racking my brains all night on this, and I found a cheap , dirty way to fix the above problem....
Simply put your Puppy 300 CD in and in the menu's setup tab use the puppy universal installer, do a Full install, and Upgrade, and when it asks about installing grub, just cancel.
now pmixer and the process killer are back!
I wonder what happened? something that I did notice was that everyone with this prob had used the EZpup, but it could just be coincidence.
Puppy is STILL the best!
